Between arrivals and departures, Milan will revolutionize the midfield this summer. The Rossoneri have already sold their most valuable piece, Tijjani Reijnders, and could say goodbye to Musah as well, it remains to be seen if to Napoli or some other destination.
To rebuild the central line, Luka Modric has already been secured, who will arrive after the Club World Cup, and the club is targeting Granit Xhaka and subsequently also a young profile who could be called Javi Guerra. Last night Matteo Moretto, a market expert, on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian channel gave the latest updates on the Musah and Xhaka situation.
What about the Yunus Musah potential transfer?
Updates are coming on Yunus Musah’s situation: the American midfielder of Milan, a week and a half ago, was close to Napoli, in what would have been a quick deal. Then things stalled between the two clubs due to misunderstandings over bonuses which effectively put the negotiations at a standstill. Matteo Moretto reported that according to his information the Musah-Napoli deal is still open. Contacts are expected to continue in the coming days and it will be understood how the situation will evolve. For his part, the player is waiting for the final move from Napoli with whom he has already found an agreement for some time. Also part of the equation is the future of Anguissa who could leave, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Xhaka: first contact with Bayer Leverkusen
On the Granit Xhaka front, almost 33-year-old captain of Switzerland, encouraging news is arriving. First of all, Moretto states that the player has given full availability for the transfer to Milan: his intention now is to move to the Rossoneri and try the adventure of the Italian league. In this regard, there is already a principle of agreement from a contractual point of view. Now however the ball is in the hands of the two clubs, with Milan having had the first contact with Bayer Leverkusen yesterday: it will not be an easy negotiation because the Swiss has a contract until 2028 and because the Germans do not want to lose yet another leader during the summer. Nevertheless, Igli Tare is eager to reach the finish line: he is the very first name on his list for the midfield.
